That's a ceramic shot glass from Germany, on the left, with the crest of the city of Frankfurt. The beer glass was also a gift from Germany (my sister-in-law's German relatives all think I'm a drunk, apparently).

The pipe is one I recently restored. An old Ben Wade Standard I won in a raffle at my local B&M.

The matches are included as a commentary on reaching middle age.
